ABSTRACT:
A fastener element (40) has a first member (41) including an outer end disk (42) and two radially spaced, axially extending flat stem legs (53). A second stem-forming member (62) has a T-shaped axial opening (64, 66) and is mechanically interlocked with the legs (53). A floating member (84) is positioned in the opening (64, 66) and has an internally threaded opening (90) which is aligned with a center opening (44) in the disk (42). The T-shaped floating member (84) is prevented from rotating in the opening (64, 66) but is allowed to move radially to automatically adjust for misalignments between a structure in which the element (40) is installed and an object to be connected thereto by means of a screw introduced into the threaded opening (90) through the disk opening (44). When the element (40) is to be installed in a structure by a potting material (34), the stem (53, 62) preferably has flow control disks ( 72, 74) and flat chord surfaces (54). An adhesive seal (98) between the members (41, 62) ensures that the potting material (34) is excluded from the opening (64, 66) to retain the automatic alignment capability.
